A majestic white-tailed deer with large, symmetrical antlers stands in a sunlit field of tall, golden grasses. Its alert eyes and perked ears indicate attentiveness to its surroundings. The background features blurred trees and brush, adding depth to the natural setting. The warm, golden lighting highlights the deer's rich brown coat and the details of its antlers.

CWD was detected in Georgia initially in January 2025.

A young woman wearing a blue t-shirt and bracelets holds a fishing rod while standing in the surf at the edge of the ocean. Beside her, a man in a light gray long-sleeve shirt, sunglasses, and a cap provides guidance, gesturing with his hand. The waves roll onto the shore under a darkening sky, suggesting early evening or dusk. In the background, several other people are fishing and walking along the shoreline.
